1.0 out of 5 stars Throw-away, November 7, 2006

This review is from: Oster 2609 250-Watt Variable Speed Hand Blender, White with Sterling Silver (Kitchen)

We received this hand blender as a gift and were very happy with it until the gear that drives the blade shaft stripped out it is apparently a cheap plastic gear. If that one part were made better the thing would probably be a nice appliance. I tried the Oster service center and couldn't even get a replacement part. The guy on the phone said that most of the hand blenders were purchased on a "throw-away basis". It would be nice if they would advertise that fact. "Buy this blender and throw it away a few months later!" They probably wouldn't sell to well.

I also used this mixer for mixing powder drinks with milk. I had problems after a few months with the metal blade shaft seizing up, and eventually flakes of what appeared to be metal started showing up in the milk.

2.0 out of 5 stars practical but short lived, December 3, 2008

I used the blender for a few years. I liked it until the plastic part that holds the blade cracked and let the blade loose. I guess it is a blender with a short life-span. If you need something long lasting, don't buy it. If you don't mind replacing it every 2 or 4 years, then it is a very practical and versatile tool.
